Chapter 135 Is This Genetic?
This is Dr. Pan Peiyu, Di Wei introduced. The current leading orthopedic figure at the Municipal Hospital.
Yang Meng smiled and said, So that is the deputy chief physician at a national provincial Grade 3 Class A hospital with the lowest income that you mentioned?
Pan Peiyu was just about to shake hands with Yang Meng when his smile froze on his face. Yang Meng pointed at Di Wei and said, His exact words!
Good news never leaves the door, while bad news travels a thousand miles. Pan Peiyu chuckled bitterly and shook hands with Yang Meng. Well, I am that pathetic fellow, and you must be Mr. Yang?
Just call me Yang Meng. Yang Meng turned back to say to Duan Bowen, Secretary Duan... bah! Bowen! We are all friends, so stop calling me mister or whatever. I hate that title. This is all the bad influence you brought! If you call me 'Mr. Yang' again, you will be fined one hundred yuan! Everyone, bear witness.
Duan Bowen smiled and said, Understood, I will definitely change this habit in the future. Dr. Pan, thank you for coming over despite your busy schedule, but please take a look at Mr. Yang's condition.
Pan Peiyu waved his hand and said, Don't be so polite. You already know my title of having the 'lowest income', but I still need to make a living too. What I rely on is 'flying knives'. Otherwise, how am I supposed to support myself!
The so-called 'flying knives' is hospital slang referring to doctors from major hospitals who, during their off-hours or rest time, travel to smaller hospitals with lower medical standards to perform surgeries as chief surgeons in exchange for consultation fees, much like company employees doing part-time jobs after work.
This is considered a 'gray area' in surgeries because, according to regulations, it is a matter that is both legal and illegal at the same time.
If judged strictly by the Practicing Physicians Law, doing this is certainly illegal. However, under new regulations, if a doctor registers for multi-site practice qualifications, performing 'flying knives' surgeries becomes legal.
Yet, hospitals currently impose restrictions on their own doctors applying for multi-site practices. When you think about it, it makes sense. After all, you are a doctor at our hospital; what does it look like if you go to other hospitals to treat patients all day long? What should happen if your patients' conditions change while you are away? And what if running around everywhere leaves you sleep-deprived and affects your work quality? Therefore, nowadays some doctors simply quit to work independently, exclusively registering for multi-site practices and specializing in 'flying knives'.
And what about those doctors who do not want to leave their hospitals but still want to make extra money? Consequently, the gray-market 'flying knives' have become even more popular. Small hospitals encountering difficult cases contact good doctors from major hospitals directly, negotiate treatment fees with the patients privately, and then secretly hand the fees over to the 'flying knives' doctor. The patients receive treatment, and the doctors earn extra cash.
Duan Bowen smiled and said, Dr. Pan, rest assured, the compensation will certainly satisfy you. Please treat Mr. Xian... uh, Yang Meng!
Yang Meng held out his palm instead: Bowen, you only said half of that, a fifty yuan fine!
Duan Bowen smiled and nodded, I accept the penalty, WeChat transfer!
Yang Meng said, No, no, let's put a box right here, and whoever calls me that will drop money into it! When there is enough money, we will take it out and have a meal together!
Long Teng scratched his head and said, Master, don't you think this policy of yours only penalizes Bowen alone? Wouldn't it be more direct if you just told him to treat everyone to dinner?
At this moment, Pan Peiyu spoke up: I can sense that you all have a very good relationship, but I hope you can understand that my time is very tight. Can we find a place so I can give Mr. Yang an examination? Di Wei, you aren't pulling my leg, are you? Look at Mr. Yang's appearance—how does he look like anything is wrong with him?
Di Wei smiled bitterly and said, You'll know once you make him take off his clothes.
Pan Peiyu pointed to his side and said, I brought a portable X-ray machine; this is much more effective. Secretary Duan, can you arrange a place?
Secretary Duan pointed inward and said, There is a dedicated lounge over here, let's go there.
The group moved to the lounge, and as soon as Yang Meng stepped inside, he was slightly dumbfounded: Long Teng, what on earth did you set up a place like this for?
The lounge was exceptionally luxurious, resembling a presidential suite in a hotel, complete with everything from a bathroom to a bar counter.
Long Teng explained, Sometimes training gets too tiring, so I just rest here for a while.
Yang Meng thought for a moment and said, Holy crap, isn't this the place where you specially bring girls to hook up? Is there even any way to lie down here anymore? How many little tadpoles have died on this bed?
Hearing this, Long Teng blushed because what Yang Meng said was remarkably close to the truth. Uh, Master, rest assured, I throw away these bed linens after a single use. These are all brand new.
Yang Meng glanced at the bedding and quilts on the bed. Although he lacked an eye for luxury brands, he could tell from the style of those down comforters that they were not cheap. Holy crap, these were actually disposable?
The joys of the rich are often just this unpretentious and boring...
They say summer insects cannot comprehend ice, but it is not that summer insects are foolish; rather, the two simply belong to different worlds!
Pan Peiyu interjected, Mr. Yang, please lie down so I can examine you. It would be best to take out any metal objects from your pockets.
Yang Meng shook his head and said, Just do it right like this! The sins committed on this bed are simply too heavy.
Long Teng expressed helplessness at having taken a stray bullet of blame though he was completely innocent.
Pan Peiyu did not press the issue. After all, judging by Yang Meng's appearance, he didn't look injured at all. He took out a portable X-ray machine. This type of equipment is simple to operate, compact in size, and connects directly to a laptop for use. Generally speaking, team doctors for athletes always keep one on hand.
After he adjusted the equipment and swept it across Yang Meng's arm, he let out an 'huh' sound, and a change appeared in his gaze. Then, the more the X-ray machine scanned across Yang Meng's body, the more serious his expression became. After scanning Yang Meng from head to toe, he set the X-ray machine aside and fell into silence, deep in thought.
Seeing him remain silent, everyone else quieted down as well, unsure of what the actual situation was.
In the end, it was Di Wei who broke the silence: Cough cough, Brother Pan, what on earth is going on? Say something, will you?
Huh? Pan Peiyu snapped back to his senses, and the eyes with which he looked at Yang Meng shone with a greenish light: Mr. Yang... how did you pull this off?
Yang Meng wore a look of utter helplessness: Pull what off? What on earth are you talking about!
Pan Peiyu wore an expression of sheer excitement: You don't just have seven or eight fractures! Including bone cracks, you have at least seventy-some bone injuries all over your body!
What? Everyone present let out a joint cry of astonishment upon hearing Yang Meng's words.
Hearing this, Yang Meng felt even more helpless: Dr. Pan, having this many injuries isn't a good thing, right? Tell me, why are you getting so excited?
Am I excited? Is that so? Pan Peiyu looked at Di Wei.
Di Wei nodded and said, Brother Pan, your current state isn't just excited; you are extremely excited!
Pan Peiyu hurriedly waved his hand and said, Fine, I won't deny it, I am indeed very excited right now! You guys have no idea what I've discovered!
Di Wei asked with a puzzled expression, What did you discover?
Pan Peiyu said excitedly, Mr. Yang's injuries are severe!
A wall of black lines appeared across everyone's foreheads. Damn it, the man is severely injured, so why are you getting so excited? Do you believe someone might throw you out the window?
Observing everyone's expressions, Pan Peiyu realized he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly explained: It's like this. Based on my years of experience, Mr. Yang's injuries look very similar to the condition of someone who has jumped from a building—they are trauma injuries caused by heavy impact, with the bone injuries concentrated in the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. Especially the axial skeleton; the human body has 51 bones in the trunk and 126 bones in the limbs. Judging by the distribution of Mr. Yang's injuries, it feels as though a heavy wall crashed down onto him. Am I right, Mr. Yang?
Yang Meng blinked. This Pan Peiyu possessed considerable skill and had guessed almost correctly. However, it wasn't a wall crashing down onto Yang Meng, but rather Yang Meng crashing heavily into a wall...
Consider it smashed by a wall, is there a problem with that? Yang Meng asked in return.
Pan Peiyu looked at the computer connected to the portable X-ray machine and stated, Mr. Yang's right arm, right leg, and parts of his back torso bones are injured the most severely. I analyzed that these areas must have made contact with the wall first... Well! None of that is the main point! The main point is! All of Mr. Yang's injured areas are currently healing themselves!
Upon hearing this, Di Wei remarked matter-of-factly, That's completely normal. We all studied medicine, so of course we know how strong the human body's self-healing capacity is! He looked at Long Teng and the others, fearing they might not understand, and explained further, In fact, the most powerful medical skill in the world is the human body itself. Currently, about 70% of diseases can heal on their own. The human body is essentially a giant 'pharmacy' containing various hormones. You can understand these hormones as 'prescriptions'; just the combinations of these hormones can formulate over thirty types of medicines. Furthermore, the human body possesses an even more powerful self-healing system, such as human immunity, rejection capabilities, healing capabilities, endocrine regulation capabilities, and so on. These all belong to the self-healing system, which is the most important reason humans have survived to this day. Why is AIDS so terrifying? Because it is a disease that destroys the immune system. Bone fractures in the human body recover through self-healing abilities; medicines, steel pins, and the like merely play an auxiliary role. The Traditional Chinese Medicine saying 'treatment accounts for thirty percent, recuperation accounts for seventy percent' refers precisely to this principle.
As a result, upon hearing Di Wei's words, Pan Peiyu blurted out a curse: You haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about!
Huh? Di Wei was momentarily stunned, failing to understand where he had gone wrong!
Pan Peiyu said, With a condition like Mr. Yang's, the pain generated purely by bone fractures alone would be enough to cause someone to go into shock! Yet Mr. Yang has not experienced that at all, and furthermore, Mr. Yang's bones are currently undergoing self-healing while in a realigned state! This doesn't need any treatment whatsoever! He'll recover completely just by resting over time!
Hearing this, Yang Meng felt entirely reassured inside. Ah, the 'repair' effect of this divine wine Di Hun is truly beyond reproach. External injuries are no problem either, they just take a little time.
The look in Pan Peiyu's eyes as he stared at Yang Meng grew even more excited: Mr. Yang, you must let me study you! If we can thoroughly figure out your current condition, it will definitely benefit countless more patients!
Yang Meng was left speechless: You really are Pan Anguo's son. What is wrong with you two? You want to study a living human being at the drop of a hat! Bowen, close the door and show the guest out! Who the hell can put up with a pervert like this!
